I do this by just doing an unmap-screen at the end of my .emacs file.
This makes the main screen vanish leaving just the minibuffer. You
will need to explicitly map the screen the get it back but you could
redefine C-X C-F for such a purpose. I am using emacsclient to bring up
secondary screens since this is quite quick and handles editor startups
by external things like elm and nn.
